Britney Spears' Dad Confirms New Baby
Britney Spears has given birth to her second child, her dad tells Access Hollywood. Spears and her husband, Kevin Federline, reportedly welcomed a baby boy.
Spears reportedly is considering naming the baby Sutton Pierce Federline, which means he'll have the same initials as big brother Sean Preston.
"Thank you, we appreciate your concern. Everything is great," Jamie Spears told Ron Silverstein, the show's executive producer.
Spears reportedly gave birth to a 6-pound, 11-ounce baby boy just before 2 a.m. Tuesday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
"Kevin had a smile on his face. He looked happy and upbeat," an observer told People magazine.
A source close to the family confirmed the birth to MTV News.
Spears' publicist has not yet returned The Showbuzz's request for comment.
This is the second child for Spears. She and Federline welcomed their first child, Sean Preston, on Sept. 14, 2005.
Federline has two other children, daughter Kori, 4, and son Kaleb, 2, with a former girlfriend, actress Shar Jackson.
After weeks of speculation in the tabloids, Britney Spears told David Letterman on May 9 that she was in fact pregnant with baby No. 2. "Don't worry Dave, it's not yours," Spears joked.
Spears may not be pleased that Us Weekly was one of the first media outlets to publish reports of her second baby's birth. On Feb. 28, 2005, she expressed her anger about photos from her honeymoon that appeared in the magazine. Spears claimed the photos were taken only for her private use.
Then on March 30, 2005, in a note on her official Web site, Spears hit out at what she called "false tabloids" that were speculating that the pop star was three months pregnant.
"Do you, Us Weekly, In Touch, Star and other desperate magazines want employees who are honest or those who are liars?" she wrote. "It seems to me that you'd prefer the latter." Spears added a postscript that People magazine was "okay in my book."
Sean Preston Federline was born six months later.
Spears' most recent battle with Us Weekly came on Dec. 19, 2005, when she filed a complaint against the magazine for printing a story saying that she and her husband had filmed a sex tape.
